Station Building System Overhaul

Hello Commander,

I'm currently working on a complete overhaul of the station building system in Astrosphere. The goal is to make constructing and expanding your station much more intuitive, visually clear, and engaging.

Here's what's coming:

– The entire station building UI is being redesigned from scratch
– Rooms will be easier to place, manage, and visually understand
– A more intuitive system will reduce unnecessary complexity and improve the building flow

This update will turn station building into one of the core highlights of the game.

Stay tuned – development insights, screenshots, and sneak peeks are coming soon.
